Devon said the Eagle Ford sale proceeds will support accelerated share repurchases and debt reduction, with the amount of after-tax proceeds dependent on customary closing adjustments. CEO Clay Gaspar said selling the relatively mature asset would allow Devon to accelerate buybacks and strengthen its balance sheet. The agreed $4.2 billion cash consideration is subject to customary closing adjustments; the release did not specify a buyback amount or debt reduction target.
